The USS Indiana (BB-58)

Museum model of the USS Indiana (BB-58). From the collection at the Indiana War Memorial. From Wikipedia: 

"USS Indiana (BB-58), a South Dakota-class battleship, was the fourth ship of the United States Navy named in honor of the 19th state. Her keel was laid down on 20 November 1939 by the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company of Newport News, Virginia. She was launched on 21 November 1941 sponsored by Mrs. Lewis C. Robbins, daughter of Indiana governor Henry F. Schricker, and commissioned on 30 April 1942, Captain Aaron Stanton Merrill in command."

Still haven't figured out the best way to photograph models like this in acrylic cases, especially when the surrounding lights cause glare.

Model of USS Indianapolis

The USS Indianapolis was a Portland-class cruiser of the US Navy. Sunk by a Japanese sub, the 900 survivors were at sea for four days before being spotted by a naval Ventura. The character Captain Quint in Jaws was a survivor and famously described his ordeal and his hatred of sharks.

This is a model at the Indiana War Memorial built by William Waldorf.
